Comics By Request: People, Places In Need Of Funding

By Tom Spurgeon

* I quite like these Patreon extras from Lizz Lunney.

* I am glad the comics community raised money for writer James Hudnall's move, because there were a lot of elements tied into this one that sometimes make fundraising difficult. It was a second fundraiser for the same set of concerns, it was for someone who isn't a major figure, and it was for someone with political view not within the industry mainstream. It could be that this was focused fundraising, but I hope that there's some element of there being times when we help out first and try to reduce the circumstances for similar asks later. So I hope this one will be revisited. There are a lot of creators heading into Hudnall's age group at similar risk.

* I missed this latest update on Peter David's situation a few weeks back, and I hope it's improved even more and that the information he continues to receive is solid and helpful.

* finally, this crowd-funder from people nice enough to write in and ask for a look is headed into its last week-plus. It never hurts to look at a project to see if it's something you might like.
